A small, simple softcover picturebook Apr 14, 2007
By Midwest Book Review
Mommy Has To Stay In Bed is a small, simple softcover picturebook written by a mother who personally experienced the dilemma of having to explain being on bed rest during her pregnancy to her then 1 1/2 year old daughter. The simple rhyme and the warm color illustrations complement one another perfectly in this superb book for helping little ones understand a difficult time in a parent's life. "Sometimes I get so angry. / I just want to shout, / 'I don't like having Mom in bed / day in and day out.' // Mommy tells me to scream, / hit a pillow, have a cry. / If I'm angry, she understands / and accepts the reasons why."

Great book to help Young Children Adjust to a Horizontal Mommy Jul 28, 2007
By Jennifer P. Dallaire
"Bedrest skier mom"
I found this to be a wonderful book for toddlers faced with the trauma of having a parent on bed rest (whether it's due to pregnancy, an illness or accident). I ordered it on Amazon when I was up all night with insomnia from worry about my 2-year old daughter's difficult time dealing with my long-term (26 week) complete pregnancy bed rest. The day we received it, she asked me to read it to her five times. Our 2 year old related to the tender way the book explains--in a toddler's voice--how a child feels when her Mom is ordered to stay in bed. I couldn't agree more with the quote on the back of the book, "This delightful and poignant book fills a gap in children's literature....Beautiful illustrations and lifting verse will make this a favorite among children and give parents ideas for creative and enjoyable activities to be shared between Mother and Child. Mothers and children in this [bed rest] situation will praise and thank Annette Rivlin-Gutman for addressing their need so eloquently."
Great resource Feb 20, 2007
By Nancy F. Ferguson
If you have a parent who is bed ridden the is a must have book if there are young children in the home. There are very few resources out there to help tell a child about a bed-ridden mommy. This book is a great help.
a must for every child's bookshelf Feb 17, 2007
By R. Hornick
If you've ever wondered how to deal with a child who needs to understand the reality of an at home -in- bed mom or dad, then consider this a must read for that child along with the parent who cares enough to help that child
grow and understand the reality of the situation. I know it helped my daughter and myself when we needed it most.
Simple and to the point, a great book with a great message!! Kudos to the educator who knows how to communicate with the chilld. Please write more!
A Must for Any Parent facing a Longterm Illness Feb 05, 2007
By Dianna R. Moser
A wonderful children's book!
Beautifully illustrated, lovingly told, Mommy Has to Stay in Bed offers comfort to a child facing the issue of a parent confined to bed rest.
Through colorful images, and in terms a young child can understand, this book will help a child cope with a parent's illness. Sensitively written from the viewpoint of the child, I found the book to be full of terrific ideas to help the young reader bond with their parent during a difficult time.
Mommy Has to Stay in Bed is a thoughtful gift for any mother facing a long illness or recuperation. I loved this book and would highly recommend!!
